      The division is weak. Wlad is definently the best in the division. I need to go to Brooklyn to find another Tyson...lol.

        They become more and more predictable and repetitive, and more and more of a joke...

        lol
        You voted that this was one of the best HW era's in history.
        You are ****** and ignorant, and should stop posting.

            I think the HW division is very good thanks to a deep talent pool coming from Olympics (Wlad, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Povetkin). I think it is one of the best pools in the last 20 or so years.
            Talent pool isnt all that deep,especially not since 87'. The Tyson era. Not even close.

              Werent guys like Ruiz, McCline, Oquendo, Golota, Rahman, Berrett (just lost to a journeyman tonight), Owen ****in Beck, and Domminik Guinn champions or contenders just a few years ago? Byrd was at one time known as the best champion, and his fights were boring. It got real ugly when Vitali retired. It has since gotten much better.

              The ignorance is just pathetic. If you think that the division was better off with those guys then you just hate European fighters.

                HW division is a total Joke, anytime you got guys coming all the way from Middle weight to fight competitive in the HW's..that tells you something.

                  I love it when people talk out of their asses. Brewster was regarded as the best HW out there for a while. Why are you talking about him if you never seen him fight before tonight? Wlad can make anybody look bad on his good night. Brewster/Liakhovich was the best HW fight I've seen in years. Watch his previous fights and you'll see that he does know how to close the distance and he can keep his hands up. Something snapped in him, I think Liakhovich destroyed him as a fighter we all knew.

                    You intolerant, arrogant little *****, I'm just as entitled to my opinions as you are. Who are you to tell me to stop posting? Just because the heavyweights are not black and American like you, you say they're a joke - that's shows how ******, ignorant and prejudiced you are.

                      Watch how much more active Brewster was in the first round. There was nothing wrong with him when the fight started.

                      What slowed Brewster down and weakened him tonight was the same thing that stopped Austin in the last fight - Wlad hitting him with repeated, deceptively hard left jabs and steelhammer rights. Brewster was hurt in every round of this fight, and he kept getting weaker and slower as the fight progressed.

                      I thik Brewster is still okay. Wlad has the ability to make a good fighter look like a bum, like Muhammed Ali used to do. Wlad had an Ali-like confidence in today's fight.
